You can flash any of the non branded ones. Personally I have the UK BTU version flashed on my wife's S5, and have had no issues at all.

Worthwhile try Google

Worthwhile if you have no valuable info to add, rather keep quite.
PS. Pretty sure Google wont tell me if a Uzbekistan rom wil work on my SA Vodacom phone.

Thanks!!
Some posts back someone said his sim is not being recognized anymore, or perhaps the S4 thread, was just scared that might happen.....

LOL no issues with whatsapp. you definitely need a reset. Even consider going with UK BTU. And get the latest, a lot of bug fixes in there.

Sooooooo anyone know when we are getting Lollipop?

I actually got an update notification from the Vodafone app today. It said "Lollipop is now supported!". Installed the small update but nothing happened, still says 4.4.2 is the latest update when I attempt to upgrade the FW via OTA. I don't want to bother updating via Odin.

I saw internationally they got a small update as well before the lollipop update. Maybe just give it a couple of days..

So I did the update, everything when smoothly. But not really that impressed with lollipop, it feels a tad slower

Let it settle first... And if still not happy, factory reset
